Building with bamboo & SDGs : Goals 8, 9, 11, 12, 15
✓ A bit about bamboo
✓ SDGs: the role bamboo construction plays
✓ INBAR Task Force: what we are doing
Contents
✓ Rapid growth and biomass production.
✓ Rapidly renewable resource.
A bit about bamboo

...a grass not a tree.
Guadua angustifolia Kunth
25 m
< 6 months, 3 years to mature
✓ Extraordinary CO2 sequestration and strong material:
Compared to Oak it sequesters 6x more CO2 and is as strong.
A bit about bamboo
✓ Carbon sink.✓ Little energy consumption✓ Low-carbon and inexpensive.
In construction
“Goal 11: Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”
SDGs : Goal 11
✓ According to FAO over 1 billion people live in bamboo housing.
Slum upgrading?
• (…) significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected (…) by disasters, (…)
Engineered bahareque housing
A case-study in urban housing: Basebahay in The Philippines
(...) building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials
Engineered bahareque housing
✓ Engineered
✓Decent
✓ Earthquake &
Typhon-proof
✓Affordable
A case-study in urban housing: Basebahay in The Philippines
(...) adequate, safe and affordable housing (...)
✓ Engineered bahareque has satisfactory durability and offers good thermal comfort.
Durability and comfort
• Engineered bahareque costs less and has less than half the environmental foot-print than a masonry house.
Financial & environmental cost
Murphy, R. J., D. Trujillo, and X. Londoño, “Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a Guadua House,” in Simposio Internacional de Guadua, 2004, pp. 235–244.
“Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all”
SDGs : Goal 8
✓ Bamboo housing employs numerous workers in the countryside, towns and cities.
✓ It requires unskilled and skilled labour.
SDGs : Goal 8
“Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”
SDGs : Goal 9
Engineered bamboo products
✓ Intermediate manufacturing technologies.
✓ Sustainable industrialisation.
✓ Systems innovation.
Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization (…)

✓ Engineered bahareque has satisfactory fire resistance.
Fire resistance
Seismic & wind resistance
✓ Engineered bamboo buildings have excellent seismic and hurricane resistance.
“Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns”
SDGs : Goal 15

“Goal 15: Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss”
SDGs : Goal 15
SDGs : Goal 15
✓ Why quarry for materials, when we can grow them?
✓ Experts from across the globe to support the scientific and technological capacity of those interested in building with bamboo.
✓ We do this by publishing expert guidance, and
✓ By developing international standards (in partnership with ISO) for best practice in bamboo construction.
